L-Matrices and Propagators with Imaginary Parameters

  • Chapter
Symposia on Theoretical Physics and Mathematics 9

Abstract

The study of L-matrices leads us naturally to the definition of the matrices

$$Q =L-\lambda I$$

and

$$R=\frac{1}{L-\lambda I}$$

where Q is a “quaternion-like” object and its reciprocal R is the resolvent which can be interpreted as the propagator associated with L under “suitable” circumstances.
